The group was created in Tecalitlan, a small city located on the south of Jalisco, by Don Gaspar Vargas in 1897. Through its initial years, the instrument called guitarra de golpe was performed by Don Gaspar, two violins by Refugio Hernandez and Lino Quintero, and a wooden harp was played y Manuel Mendoza. These instruments made a unique sound, leading to the establishment of SonidaTecalitlan as opposed to the SonidaCocula. Gasper, in 1913, added a trumpet to the ensemble, which was not considered suitable owing to its high-pitched sounds, so it was removed. After that a violin was added in place of a cornet, so that now the band’s sound depended on five main elements. Gaspar’s son Silvestre joined in 1921 as a violinist, so that beginning from 1926 the ensemble comprised of Gaspar Vargas, Manuel Mendoza, Nicolas Torres and Trinidad Olvera.This time period is marked as the first generation, with the second period beginning in 1931 when Gaspar handed the group’s leadership ot his son. From there on the group has continued through four generation till 2003 when the fifth generation took over.
